A senior Malaysian official says that an object found in Reunion has been confirmed as "a domestic ladder" and is not a plane part, amid media reports that a new piece of plane debris was found on the island. Malaysian Director General of Civil Aviation Azharuddin Abdul Rahman told the AP that a piece of debris found on a beach near the town of Saint-Denis this morning had nothing to do with the investigation involving the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

"I'm the one leading the investigation in France for the analysis of the (wing flap) piece brought back," said Rahman. "I read all over media it (the new debris) was part of a door. But I checked with the Civil Aviation Authority, and people on the ground in Reunion, and it was just a domestic ladder."

said Rahman. "I read all over media it (the new debris) was part of a door.

Because, anything it takes 4, apparently normal, people to carry, is a huge ladder step.

It wouldn't happen to be marked "EHW 801-555-1212"? If so, can you tell the crack head that stole it to send it back to me?

The way the Headline was written implies the first piece was a domestic ladder. You must read the article to find out the real object of the story. Any news from the Malaysian or Chinese governments is untrustworthy.
